Summary: This study examines the factors influencing intentional sharing of deepfakes. The findings reveal that social media news use and FOMO are positively associated with intentional deepfakes sharing. Individuals with lower cognitive ability exhibit higher levels of FOMO and engage more in deepfakes sharing. FOMO also mediates the relationship between citizens' news use and sharing of deepfakes. Moderated mediation analysis suggests that the indirect effects of social media news use on intentional sharing through FOMO are stronger for individuals with low cognitive ability.

Summary: By examining the sexual use of Twitter among queer men in China, this article explores how mainstream platforms offer unique economic opportunities for underrepresented groups. Through in-depth interviews and digital ethnography, it reveals how Twitter shapes sex media production and enables different modes of monetization. The study suggests that Chinese queer sex influencers' monetization practices not only contribute to vibrant sexual cultures, but also incentivize cross-platform mobility as a strategy for dealing with China's unstable legal environment.

Summary: This article provides a feminist analysis of Chinese reality TV, using the recent makeover show-You Are So Beautiful as a case study. The notion of gender essentialism is highlighted in the production of the Chinese show, which distances it from its original American format-Queer Eye. This phenomenon reflects how existing gender power relations influence the production of popular cultural texts in post-reform China, where capitalism and authoritarianism intertwine.

Summary: This article critically intervenes in the early understanding of folk horror by subjecting its emergent discourses to interdisciplinary scholarly critique. It draws upon perspectives from culture studies, political theory, and critical anthropology, and identifies three key tropes within folk horror: a sense of the past as a foreign country, the framing of indigenous communities as monstrous, and an alternate underlying narrative archetype based on encounters with difference.

Summary: The live-streaming industry in China is dominated by female and heterosexual streamers, with heterosexual male streamers receiving little attention. This paper examines how male streamers engage with this predominantly feminine profession by introducing the concept of emergent masculinities. Male streamers are categorized into three types: e-sports athletes, shopping guides, and affective entertainers who attract female audiences through friendship and intimacy. The last type often performs a facade of pleasing women, contradicting the men's own upbringing of hegemonic masculinity. This tension highlights the development of China's emergent masculinities in relation to the country's post-feminist sensibilities.
